I've been a bad girl. I haven't worked out in more than 2 weeks. Just when I was getting into the swing of it. I got really busy at work, which meant longish days on my feet in high heels in unseasonably cold weather. Well, I didn't have to be outside...but I didn't want to be outside, so walking to the gym was difficult to convince myself to do.
Anyhow, simply put. I got lazy. It's only March. I started in February. It's sunny and a little warmer today. So, I plan to go. Dinner is cooked at home. So, no big rush to get in.
On a positive note: My husband and I decided to give up something for Lent. I eat way too many sweets and he (though a very slim 6'3) eats fast food several times a week, and just buys food on the go far too often in general.
The combo of both of our bad habits has taken a toll on me. My weight swung ten pounds higher than what I'm comfortable with, and almost 20 lbs higher than what it ought to be.
So I gave up desserts, candy, and products with obvious sugar added. He simply is not to spend a penny on food unless they are ingredients from the grocery store.
As it turns out, our home is more or less a temptation free zone. We're both doing really well. he makes sure to pack oatmeal, yogurt, and fruit before leaving the house in the morning. I make sure there's lots of good food around...and I'm finding satisfaction in apples, grapefruits, grapes, and berries.
This weekend could have been difficult. We hosted a birthday party. I served an Oreo Chocolate Cake. The next day my siblings came over for Sunday dinner and I made them Angel food cake topped with berries and dulce de leche. I ate fruit. I'm good with it.
Doing this for God, turns out to be a better motivation than doing this for ME. I'm learning that I'm stronger than my temptations, bigger than my obstacles...and committed to , well, my convictions.
After this is over, I want to limit my consumption of sweets. However, it may be a good idea to sacrifice any part of my lifestyle that is becoming a crutch or and idol, on a month by month basis. I know in the end, I will be a much better person for trying.
